He was a Life Vice President and had served as President twice. As well as his actual roles he was an extremely hardworking member on nearly all of the Federation sub-committees.
Peter was also a very active and hard-working member of the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain having been a President of the PAGB and the organiser of the Inter-Club Championships at Warwick for many years.
